    178. Internally Unsettled

    Show Summary: Do you ever take time to sit in silence? Do you feel like your schedule is too packed full to have time for yourself? When God created the world, He took time to rest, but we often find ourselves running from one thing to the next without a moment to spare. Vivian Mabuni recently took a Sabbatical. During that time, she discovered how her soul was able to internally settle while she spent quiet time with God. Join hosts Vivian Mabuni and Eryn Eddy Adkins for this God Hears Her conversation as they talk through how we can find times in our lives to rest and reflect.

     

    Notes and Quotes: 

    • “God keeps inviting us into this place of, ‘Will you trust me?’ He will lead, and as a sheep, I will follow. And when He says go, I need to go. And when He says stay, I need to stay, and to not run ahead of Him.” —Vivian Mabuni

    • “Am I prepared to see [God] turn beauty out of pain, and this be a longer road? Or will this be a shorter road where He does a miracle? In that waiting time is a real-time of needing to lay down our will, and trust Him with the outcome.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni

    • “We can’t determine God based on our circumstances. We need to determine who God is based on His Word. . . God has revealed Himself, and we need to evaluate our circumstances in light of who He is.” —Vivian Mabuni

    177. Navigating Change (with Brittany Hurd)

    Guest Bio: Brittany Hurd is a former theatrical professional who, in late 2020, went a few rounds with a brain tumor and lost her eyesight. A trained singer, she has redirected her gifts toward chanting the Psalms in a musical theater style on the YouTube channel Canticlear. But her primary job is making her new husband a better Thomist, as they both re-learn what it means to build a virtuous and flourishing home in light of and in response to her blindness.

     

    Show Summary: When we’re growing up, we probably have an idea of what we want our lives to look like. We may plan along the way and eventually find ourselves exactly where we wanted to be. However, sometimes our plans look nothing like what God has for us. Unexpectedly, we get a scary medical diagnosis, or something significant happens that alters the course of our lives. Brittany Hurd was diagnosed with a brain tumor that ended up taking her eyesight. This has completely changed her life, and now she’s navigating the change as a newlywed. Join hosts, Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni, as they learn how Brittany takes it day by day with God in the midst of unexpected change during this God Hears Her conversation.

     

    Notes and Quotes: 

    • “The Lord promises strength for the day. He tells us to ask for our daily bread, not for tomorrow’s bread, not for next week’s bread, but today’s.” —Brittany Hurd

    • “Despite what truly is a bad thing, the Lord brings even a better thing out of it.” —Brittany Hurd

    • “You don’t have to do the big, showy, pastoral prayers, where all the words are just right. Just speak to the Lord. . . He always turns it to some resolution.” —Brittany Hurd

Join hosts, Elisa Morgan and Vivian Mabuni, as they discover how to overcome disappointments with Lisa Victoria Fields during this God Hears Her conversation.

    company that provides Pilates workouts, breathwork, and nutrition to help women build

    strength, reduce stress, and connect with their bodies. She is a certified Pilates instructor

    with more than a decade of experience teaching, writing, and guiding women in their

    health and wellness journeys.

     

    Show Summary: How many of us have started the new year with resolutions about exercise or dieting? We tend to go into the new year with high hopes about how we’re going to change our lifestyle. What if the first step is actually reframing our mindset? Robin Long is a health and wellness expert who realized she needed to make big changes to alter a toxic cycle of exercising and overeating. Join hosts Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni as they ring in the new year learning about how to have a balanced approach to health and wellness during this God Hears Her conversation.

     

    Notes and Quotes: 

    • “We all have a journey that we’ve been on that informs how we relate to our body today, and how we relate to our self-care, exercise, and fitness.” —Robin Long

    • When we aren’t feeling well in our body, we go through our day with a level of stress, with a level of disengagement or anxiety, that can really affect our relationships and how we feel.” —Robin Long

    • “How do we break that all-or-nothing mentality? How do we disconnect the belief that wellness equals weight loss. . . or whatever your definition of wellness equals, whatever is on the outside.” —Robin Long

    • God says we are good, and that He created us in His image. So knowing that we are good as we are today, we don’t have to change the size of our thighs. We don’t have to change the shape of our bodies. We don’t have to change who we are in order to be called good, to be called worthy and loved. —Robin Long

    174. The True Miracle of Christmas

    Have you ever had a terrible Christmas? Do you find yourself getting caught up in making things look perfect, even though you’re exhausted or feeling alone? When the Christmas season rolls around, we often forget the true miracle of Christmas. Join hosts Elisa Morgan, Eryn Eddy Adkins, and Vivian Mabuni as they trace the Lord’s promises throughout Scripture to remind us of Immanuel, God with us. Join us for this special God Hears Her podcast Christmas Bible study.

     

    Notes and Quotes: 

    • “We have a hard time at Christmas, sometimes, because we don’t have a very realistic view of it. We imagine it to be something magical, instead of it being something truly, divinely miraculous. When we understand the miracle of Christmas, it changes our ‘rotten’.” —Elisa Morgan

    • “In the midst of the really hard, I can’t really see the miraculous unless I’m with God. . .” —Vivian Mabuni

    • “No matter the unpredictable Christmas I will get, I can rest knowing that the Lord will carry me through, and be there for me. —Eryn Eddy Adkins

    • “When we pause long enough to imagine that this God of the universe, our Immanuel God, that He wants to have His presence within us. . . He promises His spirit within us to help us with what we need.” —Elisa Morgan

    Show Summary: Do you ever feel like you’re running on empty? Maybe your schedule is filled and you feel like you have no time to do the things you want to do or spend time with people you miss. Sometimes we feel empty because we’re lacking a community that can help fulfill our needs or lend a hand. Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez realized that women were running themselves dry while simultaneously missing out on a devoted community to spend time with. She founded The Full Collective with the hope of bringing women together to experience the fullness that God wants us to have through Him in our lives. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Vivian Mabuni as they learn more about The Full Collective and how we can find fullness through Christ and community during this episode of God Hears Her.

     

    Notes and Quotes: 

    • “No matter what the battle that has come forth is, no matter what has tried to be stolen, destroyed, or killed in their life, that does not change the fullness that God has for us.” —Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez 

    • “I was very much in search of God, but I was looking for Him in a lot of things, a lot of different people, and a lot of different places. . . . I was filled with remembering that I am loved and seen by God, and that He’s actually been pursuing me and running after me all these years I’ve been running away from Him.” —Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez 

    • “We have to bring our questions to the feet of Jesus.” —Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez 

    • “We need to remember that our faith is not individualized. Although our salvation is individual, the work that the body of Christ is called to do on Earth is a collective work.” —Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez  

    • “What is absolute truth is that Jesus came to give us life, and life to the full.” —Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez

    169. Learning to Surrender (with Tara Sun)

    Guest Bio: Tara Sun is the author of Surrender Your Story and host of the popular podcast Truth Talks with Tara. She is passionate about helping women simplify and know what it means to live out the gospel and know, love, and live God’s Word through online resources. Tara lives in Oregon with her husband, Michael, and their son, Hunter. When she isn’t writing or podcasting, Tara loves to cook, bake sourdough, go on walks through their small town, and chat about Jesus and life with anyone and everyone.

     

    Show Summary: When you think of surrender, do you think of weakness? Do you think of giving up? Or do you think of laying your life down for good? When we think about surrendering our lives to God, we don’t realize the outcome of surrendering all things to Him. We may have a harder time with control than we think. Our God Hears Her podcast guest today is Tara Sun, a woman who had to learn how to surrender her story to the Lord. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn how to surrender control with Tara Sun during this conversation on God Hears Her. 

     

    Notes and Quotes: 

    • “We live in a kingdom where Jesus said a lot of upside-down things that actually make a lot of sense when we live by His Word and listen to His Word.” —Tara Sun

    • “When you lay your life down, you get to pick up something greater.” —Tara Sun

    • “God doesn’t waste anything. It’s for a reason, even if I didn’t plan it. And it’s all leading up to creating a stronger, more sanctified you. A you that knows who God is more.” —Tara Sun

    • “It doesn’t matter the greatest plans that I can come up with, it can never touch the goodness and greatness of God’s purposes for my life. He wants our obedience and our “yes” coupled with His divine purposes because ultimately He is in control.” —Tara Sun

    • “The narrative of surrender is actually at the heart of what it means to be a disciple.” —Tara Sun

    Guest Bio: Jami Nato is a blogger, Instagram influencer, and serial entrepreneur. She mentors thousands of leaders by running an essential oils business and a local coffee shop. She has four non-Catholic kids who attend Catholic school, one irritatingly athletic husband, two unkempt dogs, and a pet turtle she is constantly trying to bring back to the pond. She juggles this circus in the best-kept secret of the Midwest where people genuinely do care about your aunt’s hip surgery: Kansas City, Missouri. 

     

    Show Summary: Have you ever felt closer to God after a season of suffering? When Jami Nato found out her husband was having an affair, it felt like her world imploded. Through the trials and tribulations of that season, she found that her relationship with God was growing stronger. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn how Jami walked through that season of her life with God by her side during this God Hears Her conversation.

    • “What God did in my heart was supernatural. I felt God’s nearness so close, which I think that only suffering can do for you.” —Jami Nato

    • “Forgiveness isn’t a one-time thing. [The situation] would chase you, it would taunt you, and you had to turn around and say, ‘No more. I’ve already forgiven you.’” —Jami Nato

    • “If God carried me this far, and showed me what He needed to show me in the perfect timing, He would do it again. He would take care of me.” —Jami Nato

    • “When the gospel gets so deep into your roots, that is the fruit that you produce.” —Jami Nato
